In a candid discussion, Nigerian music superstar Wizkid shared his thoughts on why he chooses not to focus on the issues facing his country in his music. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of empowering the youth and inspiring them through his success.
“I don’t sing about the problems in my country, Nigeria because at the end of the day, it’s all noise and it won’t change anything,” Wizkid stated. He elaborated on a conversation he had with a friend, where they discussed the limited impact of merely highlighting the country’s issues. “We can talk about how crazy and bad the country is from A to Z, but that’s not gonna change anything. The most amazing thing you can do is empower the youths and focus more on bringing change than talking about it.”
Wizkid believes that his journey from a humble background in Ojuelegba to global stardom serves as a beacon of hope and motivation for many. “In ways that you don’t even understand, like me being successful empowers others because they believed if I can do it, they can,” he shared. His message to the youth is clear: “I would love for the young youths and people in Nigeria to see that nothing is impossible. You can take it above and beyond.”
Through his success and positive outlook, Wizkid aims to inspire young Nigerians to pursue their dreams and strive for greatness, proving that hard work and determination can lead to remarkable achievements.
